Death in the Family

Our sincere condolences Box. Come back when you can.

I'm so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Box,

My mother was a classic southern "steel magnolia." She led a full life: fifty years married to the same man, great-granddaughters to fuss over, and had more than her share of "first woman" to do thus-and-such distinctions. Last December, her body "escaped" from the hell that's Alzhemeir's.

But there's still the void that follows such a loss. There always will be, for both you and me.

Stay busy and come back when you can.

Hi, Guys.
I’m back. Thanks for the hugs and the flowers and the good wishes. The business that I thought would need to be done involving the funeral and other matters was concluded much sooner than expected so I returned this afternoon.

My mother will be sorely missed because she was a sweet and kind lady with a wonderful sense of humor, meaning she laughed at my jokes. But, she was also 89 years old, frail and in almost constant pain. Her quiet and dignified passing was a normal and peaceful end to a long, fruitful and happy life. May she rest in peace.

Earlier this evening, I got a phone call from my brother. Our mother passed away today. She was 89 years old and had been in failing health for some time. Her funeral will be next week, probably Thursday, and I will be leaving on tuesday to go there. Because of some business that will have to be taken care of afterward, I will be away until May 14. I will be doing little if any posting here thil after then but I will take my laptop with me and do some writing and editing.

Hi Box. I am sorry to hear of your mother's passing. Please accept my condolences.
